I also love coaching in general; putting the right players in the right positions to be successful, motivating them, making the necessary adjustments, and competing to win. I have been fortunate to be coaching some outstanding players. In the 11 matches, we have not yet surrendered a goal. The goalkeeper is an 8th grader from CGA that we have been training for about a year, Dorine Adhiambo. She has done great in the matches and especially in the post-match penalty kicks.
Yesterday was a special day. We played the team from Rusinga Island in the Championship. It was an outstanding match with both teams competing at a high level. There are some incredibly talented girls in this area. Neither team could finish off a goal even though there were some that missed by a hair. On the post-match penalty shootout we won 4-3 as Dorine caught the first two penalty kicks.
Next week we will compete in the District Tournament and then proceed to the Provencial Tournament with the best girls from that tournament.
